Watch Jerry from Cheer speak to Billie Eilish and Brad Pitt at the Oscars

A star is born

Everyone’s favourite Navarro cheerleader Jerry took to the red carpet at last night’s Oscars as a correspondent for The Ellen Show, where he graced Billie Eilish and Brad Pitt, among others, with his presence.

Jerry Harris, who’s signed with an influencer agency following his glowing performance in  Netflix’s hit docuseries Cheer, spoke to stars like Idina Menzel, Mindy Kaling, and Janelle Monae, before moving onto Eilish, who immediately look note of Harris’s ring – which he received after – SPOILER ALERT – he and his fellow Navarro College cheerleaders won the NCA college national championships in Daytona last year.

“Look at this ring!” Eilish exclaimed while grabbing Harris’s hand. “You want to try it on?” he asked in response, before adding: “Well, I won Daytona this past year,” to which Eilish responded, “I know!”

The cheerleader also interviewed Brad Pitt, who won an Oscar for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. “I think you’re pretty, girl, from up close,” Harris told him.
